Matye 8
1 Apre sa, Jezi desann soti sou ti mòn lan, yon gwo foul moun t'ap mache dèyè li.
Being come down from the mountain, followed by a great multitude,
2 Lè sa a, yon nonm ki te gen lalèp pwoche bò kote l', li tonbe ajenou devan Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, si ou vle, ou kapab geri mwen.
a leper came, who, presenting himself before him, said, Sir, if you will, you can cleanse me.
3 Jezi lonje men l', li manyen nonm lan, li di l': Wi, mwen vle. Se pou ou geri. Menm lè a, lalèp la kite li.
Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be you clean. Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
4 Apre sa, Jezi di l': Piga ou di pesonn sa. Men, ale fè prèt yo wè ki jan ou ye. Apre sa, wa ofri sa Moyiz te bay lòd ofri a. Konsa, wa bay tout moun prèv ou geri.
Then Jesus said to him, See you tell no person; but go, show yourself to the priest, and make the oblation prescribed by Moses, for notifying the cure to the people.
5 Antan Jezi t'ap antre lavil Kapènawòm, yon kaptenn lame women an vin bò kote li. Li mande l' yon sèvis. Li di l' konsa:
Having entered Capernaum, a centurion accosted him with this request,
6 Mèt, domestik mwen an kouche lakay, li paralize nèt, l'ap soufri anpil.
Sir, my man-servant lies sick at home, exceedingly afflicted with a palsy.
7 Jezi di l' konsa: Mwen pral geri l' pou ou.
Jesus answered, I will go and cure him.
8 Men kaptenn lan reponn li: Mèt, mwen pa merite pou ou antre lakay mwen. Men, annik bay yon lòd ase, domestik mwen an va geri.
The centurion replying, said, Sir, I am not worthy, that you should come under my roof; only say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 Mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou la a, mwen sou zòd chèf, mwen gen sòlda sou zòd mwen tou. Lè m' di yonn ale, li ale. Lè m' di yon lòt vini, li vini. Lè m' di domestik mwen an fè sa, li fè li.
For even I, who am under command myself, having soldiers under me, say to one, Go, and he goes; to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
10 Lè Jezi tande pawòl sa yo, li sezi. Li di moun ki t'ap mache dèyè li yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: mwen poko janm jwenn yon moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki gen konfyans nan Bondye tankou nonm sa a.
Jesus hearing this, was astonished, and said to those who followed, Indeed, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
11 Mwen p'ap kache di nou sa: anpil moun va soti nan peyi solèy leve ak nan peyi solèy kouche, y'a vin chita sou tab ansanm ak Abraram, ak Izarak, ak Jakòb nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.
But I assure you, that many will come from the east and from the west, and will be placed at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven,
12 Men, moun ki pou ta antre nan Peyi Wa a, y'ap voye yo jete deyò nan fènwa. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.
while the sons of the kingdom shall be thrust out into outer darkness, where will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Apre sa, Jezi di kaptenn lan: Ale lakay ou. Tout bagay ap pase pou ou jan ou kwè l' la. Menm lè a, domestik la te geri.
Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go home; be it to you, according to your faith. That instant his servant was cured.
14 Apre sa, Jezi ale lakay Pyè. Li jwenn bèlmè Pyè a kouche ak lafyèv.
Then Jesus having entered Peter's house, saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever,
15 Jezi manyen men madanm lan, lamenm lafyèv la kite li. Madanm lan leve, li resevwa li.
and having touched her hand, the fever left her; on which she arose and entertained him.
16 Lè solèy fin kouche, yo mennen anpil moun ki te gen move lespri sou yo bay Jezi. Li annik pale ak move lespri yo, li chase yo. Li te geri tout moun malad yo tou.
In the evening they presented to him many demoniacs; and he expelled the spirits with a word, and cured all the sick;
17 Se konsa pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre: Li pran enfimite nou yo sou li. Li pote maladi nou yo sou do li.
thus verifying the saying of the Prophet Isaiah, "He has himself carried off our infirmities, and borne our distresses."
18 Jezi wè li te nan mitan yon gwo foul moun. Li bay lòd pou yo janbe lòt bò lanmè a.
Jesus seeing himself crowded on all sides, gave orders to pass to the opposite shore.
19 Men, yon dirèktè lalwa pwoche bò kote l', li di l' konsa: Mèt, m'ap swiv ou tout kote ou prale.
Meantime, a scribe accosted him, saying, Rabbi, I will follow you whithersoever you go.
20 Jezi reponn li: Chat mawon gen twou yo. Zwezo k'ap vole nan syèl la gen nich yo. Men, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a pa gen kote pou l' poze tèt li.
Jesus answered, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have places of shelter, but the Son of Man has not where to repose his head.
21 Yon lòt nan disip yo di li: Mèt, pèmèt mwen al antere papa m' anvan.
Another, one of his disciples, said to him, Master, permit me to go first, and bury my father.
22 Men Jezi di li: Swiv mwen. Kite moun mouri antere moun mouri yo.
Jesus answered, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.
23 Jezi moute nan kannòt la, disip li yo pati avèk li.
Then entering the bark, his disciples followed him.
24 Antan yo sou lanmè a, yo rete konsa yon gwo van vin leve. Lanm lanmè yo t'ap kouvri kannòt la. Jezi menm t'ap dòmi lè sa a.
Soon after there arose in the sea so great a tempest, that the bark was covered with billows. But he being asleep,
25 Disip yo pwoche bò kote li. Yo souke l', yo fè l' leve. Yo di l' konsa: Mèt, sove nou non. Se mouri n'ap mouri.
the disciples came and waked him, saying, Save us, Master, we perish.
26 Jezi di yo: Poukisa nou pè konsa? Ala moun manke konfyans! Apre sa, Jezi leve kanpe, li pale byen fò ak van an ansanm ak dlo a. Lamenm yon gwo kalmi fèt.
He answered, Why are you so timorous, O you distrustful? Then he arose, and having commanded the winds and the sea, a great calm ensued;
27 Mesye yo te sezi anpil. Yo di konsa: Ki kalite moun sa a menm, pou jouk van ak dlo lanmè obeyi li?
insomuch that every one exclaimed with admiration, What personage is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey.
28 Lè Jezi rive lòt bò lanmè a, nan peyi Gadarenyen yo, de moun soti nan mitan tonm mò yo, yo vin devan li. Mesye sa yo te gen move lespri sou yo. Yo te sitèlman move pesonn pa t' kapab pase nan chemen sa a.
When he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs, issuing out of the monuments, so furious, that no person durst pass that way.
29 Yo tou de pran rele ansanm: Ey, Pitit Bondye a. Kisa nou gen avè ou? Eske ou vin isit la pou fè n' soufri anvan lè nou?
These instantly cried, saying, What hast thou to do with us, Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Toupre kote yo te ye a, te gen yon bann kochon ki t'ap chache manje pou yo manje.
Now there was feeding, at some distance, a great herd of swine.
31 Move lespri yo mande Jezi: Tanpri, si ou vle chase nou, voye nou sou bann kochon sa yo.
And the friends besought him, saying, If thou expel us, permit us to go into the herd of swine.
32 Jezi di yo: Ale non. Move lespri yo soti sou de mesye yo, yo antre nan kochon yo. Menm lè a, tout bann kochon yo pran degrengole desann falèz la, y al neye tèt yo nan lanmè.
He answered, Go. And when they were cast out, they went into the swine; on which the whole herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 Moun ki t'ap gade kochon yo pran kouri. Y ale lavil la, yo rakonte tou sa ki te pase ansanm ak sa ki te rive de mesye yo ki te gen move lespri sou yo.
Then the herdsmen fled into the city, and reported everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs.
34 Lè sa a, tout moun lavil la soti vin jwenn Jezi. Lè yo wè l', yo mande li: Tanpri souple, ale fè wout ou.
Presently the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and having seen him, entreated him to depart out of their territory.
